Das Napperby Projekt ist nicht das einzigste aussichtsreiche Vorhaben v. DEEP YELLOW Ltd. (DYL). DYL hat 4 weitere sehr interessante Projekte in seinem Portefolio:
NORTHERN TERRITORY Napperby Project (DYL: 100%):
Location The Napperby Project is located 150 km northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia and consists of one exploration licence covering 809 km2. The Napperby Project hosts a large area of previously defined uranium mineralisation. Napperby Prospect In the late 1970’s Uranerz Australia Pty Ltd (Uranerz) drilled 820 shallow air core and auger holes at Napperby, culminating in resource definition work and a pre-feasibility study. The drilling conducted by Uranerz delineated a 20 km x 4 km mineralised palaeodrainage known as the New Well Prospect. On the back of that drilling Uranerz carried out an economic orientation study on the project based on a grade range of 0.036-0.038%. The mineralised zone is 0.5 to 5 metres (m) thick and occurs between 3m and 10m from surface. The New Well Prospect mineralisation is reported by Uranerz to occur predominantly in the reduced carbonate sand and sandy clay of channel sediments. This mineralisation is similar to other prominent Uranium deposits, such as Langer-Heinrich in Namibia (Paladin Resources) where alkaline leaching will be used in the extraction process. During 2005 DYL undertook an extensive drilling programme on Napperby based on a 100m by 100m grid system aimed at defining a JORC resource. Uranerz's work had predominantly been done on a 300m by 400m grid, which did not qualify the data to be used under JORC. Unfortunately DYL's drilling was inconclusive due either to using an incorrect drilling method (high pressure aircore) that resulted in core recoveries of less than 50%, or due to an incorrect interpretation of the style of mineralisation. It is planned to ascertain where the problem lies in early 2006 when the weather permits.
NORTHERN TERRITORY North East Arunta Project (DYL 100%):
The NE Arunta Project (EL9890) is located in the Proterozoic Arunta block, approximately 270 km NNE of Alice Springs. Exploration by previous workers defined a 1,400 m long radiometric anomaly (Yambla Prospect) within the Yambla Amphibolite. Drilling and trenching of the Yambla Amphibolite by PNC, a major Japanese explorer in the 1980’s, defined a 1 to 10m thick alteration zone within which sporadic occasionally very high grade uranium mineralisation occurs in the form of egg-shaped nodules of uraninite grading 1-10% U3O8. Fifteen trenches dug by PNC showed mineralisation of which two had reasonable zones of high grade material. Better trench assays of channel samples (0.5 to 1.0 m) ranged between 0.1 to 10% U3O8. Elsewhere, assays adjacent to mineralisation ranged between 10 and 200 ppm U3O8. One campaign of diamond drilling (13 holes) was completed, with two holes showing moderate downhole anomalies. All holes intersected at least some alteration proving the wide extent of the mineralising system. Drillhole assays ranged between 5 and 50 ppm U3O8 in altered rock while unaltered amphibolite was all <5 ppm U3O8. Previous explorers have found it difficult to determine the extent and distribution of the uranium rich nodules. After reviewing existing data Deep Yellow plans to carry out drilling to determine the distribution and potential economics of the Yambla Prospect and locate the source of the extremely high grade egg-sized pods of near surface uranium mineralisation. Paladin Data Base Licence and Technical SupportPaladin Resources Ltd (Paladin) has granted DYL an exclusive licence to use data from the Paladin database (acquired by Paladin from Uranerz) in relation to the Napperby and NE Arunta project areas and surrounding areas within an approximate 50 km radius. After 5 years, the licence will revert to a non-exclusive royalty free licence in perpetuity.
NORTHERN TERRITORY / WESTERN AUSTRALIA Tanami - Arunta Project (DYL: 100%):
Uranium Rights to 53,000km2 in Tanami-Arunta Province
The Company acquired the uranium rights to all of Tanami Gold NL’s (Tanami) tenements in the Tanami-Arunta Province of the Northern Territory & Western Australia. This acquisition provides DYL with access to an extensive exploration package containing numerous prospective targets for uranium exploration and builds on the Company’s existing commitment to exploration in the Northern Territory via its Napperby and NE Arunta Projects. DYL is responsible for negotiating access to the areas of interest (CLC and Native Title). In the 1970’s and early 1980’s extensive uranium exploration programs were conducted in the Alice Springs region where companies had access to Crown Land. Numerous small vein-type metasomatic uranium occurrences were located in the highly metamorphosed granulite facies complexes in the Harts Range area. Additionally outcropping sandstone - hosted deposits were found at Bigrlyi and Angela. Surficial, calcrete–hosted deposits (e.g. Currinya) and redox palaeo-channel deposits (e.g. New Well, see above) were also discovered. Although a significant uranium footprint was identified in the district the real focus at the time shifted after discovery of the world-class Alligator River uranium field in the ‘top-end’ of the Northern Territory, leaving the Alice Springs region under-explored.
The acquisition of the uranium rights to the Tanami Gold tenements represents a major opportunity for DYL to gain access to large areas of the Tanami-Arunta Province. The Province presents a range of uranium targets that, in general, have been neglected over the past 10-15 years. It is probably the only realistic target area for the Unconformity-Style Uranium left in Australia outside the National Parks (Rudall River and Kakadu-Alligator River) and Arnhem Land.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA Frome Basin Database & Siccus JV (DYL: 90%):
In September 2005 DYL acquired Paladin’s 90% interest in the Siccus Joint Venture in the Frome Basin of South Australia. This acquisition coupled with the acquisition of an exclusive licence to Paladin’s Frome Basin database is expected to deliver to DYL a strong competitive advantage in this uranium province.
The Frome Basin of South Australia is located 500 km north of Adelaide and is roughly 50,000 km2 in size. Uranium exploration commenced in 1968 and continued until the early 1980’s, focusing on targets occurring within Tertiary palaeochannel systems. Two substantial uranium deposits, Beverley and Honeymoon were discovered in this period. Beverley is the third operating uranium mine in Australia and is successfully utilizing In-Situ Leach (ISL) mining technology.
Previous work undertaken by Paladin has indicated that the region contains numerous radiometric downhole anomalies and other prospective targets that remain inadequately tested.
Siccus JV The Siccus JV lease covers approximately 45 km of prospective channel sands (with three target zones for uranium rollfront mineralisation) and 10 km of potential shoestring sands which holds significant potential for Beverley- type mineralisation in the Namba Formation. Prior exploration has been very limited; sufficient to delineate the basic geology but insufficient to test for the presence of buried uranium. In particular two anomalous holes on the edge of the channel system were not adequately followed-up. Additionally the main channel, which drains highly uranium rich source rocks to the south, has only been tested by a single hole.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA Ponton North Project (DYL: 100%):
The Exploration Licence Applications for the Ponton North Project cover approximately 1,150 km2. The area contains Tertiary palaeochannels considered highly prospective for uranium and which connect the Mulga Rocks Uranium Deposit discovered by PNC Exploration to the north with the Paladin Ponton Project to the south.
Uranerz drilled the area in the 1980’s and outlined a well defined Tertiary palaeochannel drainage system. This work outlined the Driller’s Corner Prospect at which uranium mineralisation up to 0.14% was detected from widespaced drilling. In addition, two 2 x 0.5 km anomalous areas containing greater than 0.02% U3O8 were delineated during this work confirming that highly uraniferous waters flowed through these channel systems. DYL believes that the ground has the potential for tabular-type uranium deposits.
